The Level 5 Teaching Assistant apprenticeship is ideal for teaching assistants who have at least one year’s experience in the role.
Be part of the growing number of TAs deepening their skills and knowledge to lead more whole-class activities and broaden their knowledge of both “roaming” support and targeted interventions, under supervision of their classroom teacher or SENCO.
Dyslexia Action Training has co-developed this apprenticeship programme, which will be delivered by our sister company, ESF Apprenticeships, an Ofsted outstanding apprenticeship provider. It can be fully funded through the Growth and Skills Levy.
Delegates have the option to choose from one of four specialist pathways including:
- The Literacy specialism
- The Language and Literacy specialism, (which includes Elklan’s Level 3 qualification in Speech & Language Support for 5-11s or 11-16s)
- The SEND specialism
- The Social & Emotional Well-being specialism (including ELSA status)
It is also possible to gain HLTA status through this programme.
Please note: The Level 5 Specialist Teaching Assistant apprenticeship is not eligible to be used in the pathway to gaining an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC). Please see our Level 5 Diploma in Specialist Teaching for Literacy-Related Difficulties (DIST) CPD pathway route if you are looking to become a specialist literacy teacher/practitioner or assessor.
